Unfortunately for some, the best way to obtain your sticker is through the official French government website www.certificat-air.gouv.fr/en/
You will need to be able to manage in French.
On the page referenced above, scroll down to "Commander son certificat qualité de l'air en ligne" (order your air-quality certificate online). Click on the panel immediately below.
On the page that follows, click on "Demander con certificat" (request your certificate).
On the next page, click on "Votre véhicule est immatriculé dans un autre pays" (your vehicle is registered abroad - i.e. not in France).
On the next page you are told what you need to get your certificate (your registration document) and how much it will cost (€4.80, including postage). You must tick the two boxes that show you accept the Ts & Cs; and that the registration document is up to date and that the copy you will be sending is accurate. Click on "Suivant" (next).
On the next page, click on "Ajouter un véhicule" (add a vehicle) and fill in the boxes that pop up. Note you will need to be able to attach a file in the form of a scan of your registration document; it seems that you need to send the front and next page.
You may need to know that "immatriculation" means registration; "carburant" means fuel; "essence" means petrol; "Pays d'immatriculation" mean country of registration - you need "Royaume-Uni" (United Kingdom); ordinary cars, people-carriers up to 8 passenger seats (not counting the driver) are category M1; the "Numéro de série" is the VIN.
Where it says "Télécharger le justificatif d'immatriculation" this means upload the registration document - i.e. the scan you should have ready. If there are two files (one for each page), click on "Ajouter une pièce jointe" (add an attachment) for the second page.
Click the box next to "I'm not a robot" and do the necessary "I'm not a robot" stuff, then click on "Enregistrer" (save).
It's ages since I did mine and I can't remember what happens next, except that you will be asked for payment and will need a card to do this.
If anyone gets stuck I'll do my best to help out - I got it to work for me anyway, and received the sticker shortly afterwards.
French bureaucracy - don't you just love it? No wonder the scam sites are charging; if they do the form-filling for you, some might think it's worth it.
